Cycle Yatra finds adivasis not getting land deeds under Forest Rights Act...

My name is Jagdish. I am calling from Land Rights Movement in Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh. We are moving around in cycle rally in Jaba block and reached a village called Garbh and found that adivasis here are living in forest land from 1980s but have not got their land deeds under Forest Rights Act. The panchayat is not forwarding their applications. We will be visiting around 200 villages in next one month and will keep reporting from villages. For more Jagdish Ji can be reached at 09424745340
